what are the most prestigious FRATERNITIES in your school?

[jack]

alright...ready go.....ano? bakit?

[ChiQui]

UPSILON SIGMA PHI - they have a lot of members and all of the residents are active. They're always doing something to strengthen their brotherhood. And they also do a lot of charity work. :) And they're really nice, and most of them are good-looking. :)

[buttercup]

i hafta agree with Chiqui :D

[Ira]

I third the motion. And guys, no matter what you say-- other frats really come in a poor second to these guys in terms of looks and intelligence for us females.

[Kamatayan]

ALPHA KAPPA PHI PHI...

[Yoshi]

wala kasing frat sa Ateneo eh...does assoc count? :)

[Yoshi]

wala kasing frat sa Ateneo eh...
probably the closest thing to a frat we can have is a tambayan group. and i think assoc would count as one of those...

[basho]

UP Vanguards! Why?
Because my dad's one, batch '67
and there ain't no frats in
La Salle. If I went to UP and
I had to choose a frat, I'd go
for officer training to get
into the Vanguards. :)

[BadGiRL]

ummm...can anyone pls tell me what these fraternities are for in the first place? all i know is that they had this certain idea of one for all and all for one..tapos patayan na lang sila ng patayan...lalo na sa up...or sobrang exag lang ang naririnig ko sa news? anyone care to explain things to me? thx

[Ira]

Badgirl: Those are just exaggerations. The fraternities are a mostly peaceful, funloving group. The media just exaggerates frat wars in UP.

I'm a member of a sorority myself, and we have a partner fraternity, and it's pretty hard to explain the difference between just a mere organization, which they have in Catholic universities, and fraternities and sororities. You really have to experience it firsthand to know that there really is a big difference.

[glass house]

Magnum PI! Just kidding. I got that from a teeny-bopper T.V. show before. Whenever I hear "Fraternity" I remember that episode. Funny!

[Will Hunting]

Most of what the general public hears about fraternities are really isolated cases. A lot of frats in UP do a lot of community development work which more often than not goes unnoticed because there isn't much news value in a bunch of students doing good deeds where good deeds need to be done.

I myself must say that joining the Upsilon has been a very enriching experience which I will forever treasure.

tama si yoshi! walang frat sa ateneo. org yata ang closest. siguro i will vote for blue babble.

[FineST]

ALPHA PHI OMEGA pa rin!

[acidtrip]

that's where you're wrong basho, and if there are any la sallians here, you would also know that there are frats in our school, i know that there are three (tau gamma phi, domino lux and alpha phi omega)and i believe they are all very good frats but i can't judge which is the best unless i actually join one, if you can give me more names i would appreciate it. are any of the names you gave frats from la salle?

[Chad]

the frats in DLSU are not recognized by the administration since DLSU doesn't allow fraternities on campus.

i generally don't have a good impression of fraternities coz all the 3 fraternities did in lasalle while i was in the SC was to give everyone headaches. rumble here, fighting there, etc.

i'm sure there are a lot of good fraternities / sororities who have done good deeds. but in lasalle, i have yet to see one good deed done by a fraternity / sorority.

that's my biased opinion based on my limited experience with fraternities. i'm sure there's a lot more to it than that. :)

:bop:

[ziggyboy]

BadGirl: me too, I wonder what their practical use is.

Ok, let's say they have exaggerated frats in UP, now what? Charity work? Outreaches? You can get a lot of that if you are active in the Church, with YFC, LSS, CLP, etc....and Jesus doesn't require me to get beaten up by my fellow "brothers." And most people in the Church are not plastic. I'm not a member of a frat but my friends who are even fight with fellow members.

What can a frat do for me that I can't get from my friends (barkada) now (or my religious community)? Don't give me that crap about "resbak" or any of that ****...

Brotherhood? I know of a certain barkada that was formed when they were still in grade school (now they're graduates). Although when they entered college, they all joined 4 different frats (since they went to different schools, including UP Diliman). Until now that barkada managed to stick together. Now that they work, they don't depend or hang around with their frats but with the barkada, that's TRUE BROTHERHOOD!!

[acidtrip]

i agree that there are other ways to get involved with charity work and outreach programs, i actually don't understand why people join. I did find out one good thing about them, they plant trees. Medyo mababaw, pero at least they do something. and i loved that story about the barkada that are still together, if only more people realize that we don't need fraternities, those who died to needless violence would still be alive today.

Hey chad,
being a former SC member with knowledge about frat, i would like to ask a favor, can i interview you before feb.15, kung ayaw mo ng actual interview, pwede bang email mo na lang ako sa walangpangalan@eudoramail.com, il email you back with a questionaire. its for a research im doing and i really want someone with authority to comment on fraternities in DLSU, thanks.

uy funny :) dami kong hs schoolmates na SJ :lol:

anyways, my current school does not allow any official fraternities(jesuit eck eck). but since i was from UP Diliman before, i'd have to agree with Chiqui and Ira, no less than Upsilon Sigma Phi as the best fraternity in UP..not because almost every male in my family is part of the said frat..but i have seen and met Upsilonians who are smart, intelligent and decent looking..one of best crop of guys in UP.

[acidtrip]

hey evolution,di ba member ka ng tau? so was there ever a rumble between your frat and the ones you mentioned? who won? meron bang mga frat na yan sa La salle?

[twisted_hate]

Yeah, you fratburgers are the ruling bodies in your schools are you...lemme tell you a story...

I was a MP in my school, by the time I had juniors under me, I was stricter but reasonable. It happened by the time I was about to graduate from ROTC, and the juniors have their last hell day before they replace us as the law enforcers in the ROTC zone. Now, my higher officers didn't let this one applicant in because he hasn't seen him train. A few hours later, I went out for a break adn guess who met me outside- that TAU GAMMA MP applicant and his 3 other applicant buddies who are *sigh* TAU as well.

"T**ng ina mo, tsong ano ba'ng problema nyo sa akin? TAU AKO! T*ng Ina-TAU AKO!"
"Sandali, Hindi ka naman kasama sa company ko ah.Hindi ko alam kung ano argument nyo ni sir,"
"A, ganoon. Gusto mo magsuntukan na lang tayo ngayon dito, ano. T*ng ina, TAU AKO!Hindi ka ba nasisindak sa akin?"

Of course, I could take him on. I'd probably survive 4 of them too. BUT NOT THE 10+ OTHER GUYS THAT WERE IN THE BACKGROUND. I never backed out from a fight-only this time.I had to live and graduate to support my family when I get a job.

I'd someday want to have my own vigilante squad and wipe out all the fraternities-Good or Bad. I wiil never forget his name...

Matatapang kayo kasi andami nyo...

[mac_bolan00]

mr cool MP,

why didn't you just challenge him to a one-on-one? hindi na makiki-alam yung mga brods nya dahil mahihiya naman sila sa sarili nila, 'di ba?

[twisted_hate]

Hey, don't call me cool cause I never boasted about that.

You think I can guarantee a fair fight with a dozen guys fixed on me? You think I can have his word? You know what, I shouldn't have reacted to this thread in the first place. There is this thing called 'BIAS'

[Jane Gallagher]

...and im not just talking about the members' physical appearance!

[im98]

It is my opinion that U.P. education gains an edge by supporting Fraternities, and any student organization for that matter. The thing is, when a school deprives its students the right to form and join organizations such as fraternities, the latter is forced to go underground. How could you expect a fraternity to do something productive when its mere existence it threatened by its alma mater? My fraternity, the UPSILON SIGMA PHI has trained me and many others before me, to manage time, handle and get along with people of diverse personalities and upbringing and most important of all, to face the intricacies and challenges of life...head on. One may argue that these things can be learned without a Fraternity, and I totally agree, then again, there's still an x-factor that sets UPSILON apart, which could not possibly be encapsulated in words... but can only be experienced within our folds. Other fratmen may feel exactly the same way about their frat…that is of course expected of them. But if you ask me, UPSILON SIGMA PHI, founded 1918, will always be the MOST PRESTIGIOUS FRATERNITY. With its resident chapters in UP Diliman and UP Los Baños, and its Alumni Chapters all over the world... we are one in gathering light to scatter.

[WICKEDQUEEN]

Benilde does not support fraternities but one organization stands to be highly prestigious for both positive and negative reasons:

They call it "ourthing". So much for the English translation.

:D

This organization actually started in Sicily way back in the 17th century, primarily to protect the feudal lords of the bygone feudal system that existed in Sicily and in some parts of Italy. Now the organization grew and evolved worldwide, the notoriety of its reputation became recognized by states, and in some aspects the existence of the organization is both an advantage and a disadvantage to a Thirld World country like the Philippines. The codes of this organization is strictly enforced, and what makes this organization prestigious is the antiquity and the members strive to preserve the archaic traditions of the original Italian founders.

I may not agree with his politics, but he's a brod. The same ties that bind seeming bitter rivals Joker Arroyo and Estelito Mendoza, as well as Marcos and Ninoy, bind Boying with all other Upsilonians.

You would actually be surprised to find out how we all help one other away from the public eye. :) That's why joining (and being accepted) by the Upsilon is one of the best decisions anyone can make.

Philippine history can attest to the fact that the Upsilon always had leaders with different points of view. Marcos and Ninoy is not the complete story. Sometimes we forget to mention that even the left had Upsilonians in it during the Martial Law years. The Melito Glor Command is named after an Upsilonian.

Here in UST Law there is only one fraternity and that is the great GAMMA DELTA EPSILON FRATERNITY. Meron iba na pretending to be a frat pero we consider them as sororities or dance group

[stonehill]

Im a lawyer from UST, I dont believe in joining a frat(especially with the Gammans grabe daw hirap pumasok). But I know Gamma Beta Epsilon in UST dahil sila ang nagdodominate nuong time namin. Grabe samahan nila at even after passing the Bar nakikita ko pa rin sila together lalo na sa gimikan. I even know of a Law Office na puro Gamman lang ang pwede, kay Atty Pablo Cruz(my Prof. in Labor Law).

[Dickydogg]

the most prestigious fraternities here in UST are SRB, AKRHO and TAU GAMMA PHI! walang walang sinabi ang samahan ng Upsilon sa samahan ng mga taga AKRHO dito sa UST. it is really the best fraternity, not only in UST but the whole Philippines!!!

You are talking about the mafia or the "la cosa nostra" our thing.Fraternities are a different thing. If you have any more questions please check the message board of the Godfather Trilogy by J. Geoff. My sicilian friends will aslo dispute mixing fraternities with the mafia.

Well........ I'm flattered to hear it from you people that the fraternity that I'm a member of is considered as the best among the best.
It's true that there are other fraternities (?) out there, but there is only one fraternity that stands out in terms of quality of it's members and it's contributions to the welfare of its university, as a whole.
Quality of members in the sense that we require applicants to have a generally high G.W.A. and/or is considered as one of the best in his chosen field (may it be in sports or in academics)
It's true that the image of fraternities is generally bad, but we Upsilonians are striving hard to change that image by having projects that is civic-oriented not only for the benefit of the students of the University of the Philippines but also of the citizens of our nation.
Lastly, we are proud to say that value of our brotherhood is unparalleled as compared to the other pseudo-fraternities.

The said fraternities are the ones we call as pseudo-fratrernities or gangs-masquerading-as-fraternities.
Give me one project (civic-oriented or otherwise) of these fraternities (?) and we can match it with 100 projects that we've done. I am willing to bet that in terms of preparation and hard work, a single project of ours can outclass 100 of yours, any given day.

That's why wickedqueen called "our thing" an organization and not a fraternity in the first place. I personally don't believe that a "criminal organization" or Cosa Nostra is inside my school (we have enough government officials on the loose, thank you) and I don't think they can last that long to such fraternity heavyweights like Domino Lux, APO and Tau. Not unless they have friends in very high places. :smokin:

I understand wht you are saying. I just don't understand why wicked queen put up the reference to the mafia and it's history. La cosa nostra "our thing" the mafia are all the same meaning. This was revealed in the valacchi papers, by john gotti and sammy the bull gravano. I also had a classmate in college who is not in the family business but his family is highly connected with one of the "families" in new york. One more thing with all due respect. If the mafia(or one of the crime families) For whatever reason decided to infiltrate the school, they would do this very subtly by having an insider in all the fraternities and some staff, faculty, security would be on the payroll as well. All the fraternity heavyweights would not stand a chance because the capos or foot soldiers are professional killers They are all "made men" who made their bones a long time ago. Organized crime in general is not as strong as it was in the past 80 years. But it is still very active. It has taken the fbi forever to shut them down and they are still around. Believe you me, if they wanted to take on all the fraternities combined they will massacre them like it's nothing. Remember I said these are professional ruthless killers against college students.

I know wicked queen meant well but I did not understand why she brought up the mafia and "our thing" since they have nothing to do with fraternities. One more thing, with the corrupt nature of philippine govt. The mafia can easily be friends with the pezzonvantes in high places. Oppose them and they will sleep with the fishes.

Note: I do not condone what the mafia does or what they stand for. Just giving the facts that's all. Have a nice day everyone.

[ibarramedia]

Two fraternities I know that are prestigious in my school are the Phi beta kappa and the etta kappa nu. These are honor society fraternities. Students are inducted here for excellent academic achievement as well as service to the community and school. We call frats here greeks because they use greek letters. The kids here "rush" during pledge week. I know they are very different from philippine fraternities. however, I can't give a detailed analysis about the differences between both since I never joined. I guess an exagerrated example of this would be animal house starring the late john belushi and revenge of the nerds. Viewing those two and a filipino film titled batch 81 will probably give you an idea about the differences between american "geeks and philippine "frats". (wish I could see batch 81 but it is very hard to find)

[ibarramedia]

The closest thing to mafiosos in the philippines I can think of are the crime syndicates my cousins tell me about. But I think they are weak though and the authorities will take care of them.

The mafia are businessmen believe it or not and I don't think they have any interest in the philippines businesswise which is far away. I just depicted a scenario of what will happen if they decided to expand their territories there. But who knows if some of the legitimate business is mob controlled. In new york,a lot of legitimate businesses like construction, garbage collection, night clubs, unions,etc. are mob controlled. OF course there is also the illegitimate business :)

[tina_mypanacea]

So true- the UPSILON SIGMA PHI FRATERNITY is the best!:) i know many leaders of our country are alumni of the said frat and it makes me proud!!!

UP-THE BEST!!! :D

[pAwE1]

wow daming bilib sa mga LONSI ha?!from what I heard they are good, sabi ng mga friends ko sila daw ang mga konyo sa UP, maybe they are one of the best frats in UP,medyo bias ako since i have friends from SIGMA RHO, steady din sila, but I think this two frats are UP based only. I still beleive that the ALPHA PHI OMEGA is the best, it's international and many political figures are members of this frat, I'm not a frat man but i know how difficult it is to be a member of this prestigious fraternity, sabi nga nila, "madali pumasok sa apo pero mahirap mag-pakaAPO!!!I still beleive that APO is the BEST!!!Leadership, friendship and sevice!!!

one should be a member (of a frat) before they say that its a false brotherhood.

[ibarramedia]

The greeks here can't afford to misbehave because they will lose their license and be sanctioned by the panhellenic council of fraternities. Years ago, I remember this fraternity losing it's house in fraternity row and it's chapter disbanded.

Exclusivity to the premiere institution of higher learning in the country, the University of the Philippines, has maintained the quality of the members of the Upsilon. The high concentration of many of the nation's greats in a single fraternity can attest to the fact that Upsilon has always maintained excellence among its ranks. And no way will chapters be opened outside UP. That will never happen.

i just want to ask you guys something...why do most (if not all) fraternities use Greek letters? (***i apologize if this sounds like a stupid question.) are fraternities of Greek origin? please enlighten me.

The fraternity system was created as an embodiment of the ideals of the city states of Ancient Greece, thus the use of Greek letters. Each city state was a center of knowledge and excellence. And non-residents of these city states were called "barbarians". Thus is the explanation for the term used for non-fratmen.

Anyway, just like these city states, fraternities are supposed to be centers of knowledge and excellence. And most of the earlier fraternities in the Philippines did embody these goals. How the system got corrupted is something which has to be investigated further. But rest assured, there are still fraternities who keep sacred the good virtues and ideals set by their founding fathers.

Only a few demented individuals (the warfreaks) initiate frat wars.

Most fratmen actually hate rumbles- they disrupt acads, your lovelife, and social life.

Usually- rumbles are started out by losers who were (by mistake) accepted in a frat, who try to vent their frustrations through mindless violence.

No caring whether it will affect the lives of his brods who have better things to do than start a fight. :ayaw:

wow....siguro sa looks lamang upsilon ng kaunti maybe because members are required to look presentable in front of other non-member students...but i beg to disagree on the intelligence part(poor second??? it dont think so)...its like saying only students taking up law in UP are the one's who are intellingent..and mind you, majority of upsilonians are not even law students...so what about engineering students?...are they just 2nd rate compared to law and non-law student members of Upsilon?...engineering fraternities also have students who are bright...imagine managing your schedule so that you could squeeze in some time to participate in fraternity activities in between acads is hard...it's doubly hard given the fact that for you to pass some engineering subjects you should dedicate much of you free time into it...tapos hahaluan mo pa ng extra-curricular activities...hirap nun...and syempre most engineering, archi and computer science students who are members of engineering fraternities joined them because when they graduate its the alumni of their respective fraternities who are in the best position to help them out kasi engineers din yun mga yon.

i may have to agree that Upsilon Sigma Phi indeed is a prestigious fraternity in UP and outside UP as well...but not necessarily the best...most of their graduates enter politics which
of course grabs the attention of the public...but for most of the graduates of engineering fraternities they content themselves working in the background, away from the public eye...kaya hindi nakikilala ng marami....marami diyan leaders in their respective fields..but of course i won't name names.

Before anybody can really, I mean really say anything, biased or otherwise, about a fraternity/brotherhood, one should be a member first. One can never rely on hearsay.

I am a proud member of the International Order of DeMolay, a brotherhood that withstood the test of time since 1919. Instilling love and fear of god, love of parents, respect to mothers and women in general and loyalty.

In every organization, there's always the "bad egg". The rotten kind of sort. May it be APO, Akrho, Tau or Demolay. There's always one who will stray from the doctrine. It is called a fraternal organization because in the group, we treat members as our brother. And as a brother, we love our own. Good times, bad times are shared, hence, even during fights, we defend our own and the term "resback" comes to mind. These are just blemishes on an otherwise clean slate. There are alot more to "frats" than just "rumble"! We instigate filial love, reverence for sacred things, courtesy, comradeship, loyalty and patriotism to our brethren. Because that is what brotherhood is all about.

if you find security around the rockwell area a bit too tight the next few days, it is not in reponse to terrorist threat. neither is it heightened alert due to the holidays. security people will be eagle-eyed and doubly paranoid at the behest of an ateneo law school-based fraternity.

you see, members of this fraternity (pili na kayo, dalawa lang naman yan) were recently involved in an ugly fight with the youngest son of a very prominent whistleblower who is also a northern luzon kingpin (pili na kayo, isa lang naman yan). trouble is, the scion, his group outnumbered, was creamed pretty bad by the frat boys.

upon discovering the identity of their victim, the fratboys are now scared sh!tless. reports have it that some mebers have flown the coop to avoid being at the receiving end of ilocano ire. alumni members are now scampering, desperate for backchannel negotiations.

nah, well you shouldn't go too hard on ateneo law school frat boys. they also got scared sh|tless with the death of lenny villa years back. reason: lenny's dad is a sigma rhoan from UP. now that's reason to be scared.

but on the other hand, they get a hats off from me for beating up one more dumb rich kid.

say, which of chavit's kids? madaming anak yung ogags na yun. :lol:

[sue_mo!]

say, what do you have against rich kids? it's not like they directly deprived you of an umbrella when you yearned for some reprieve when, growing up, you were being seared by the blistering balara sun.

also, i suggest you quit calling chavit "ogags". you see, your kid brother's benefactor is an ally of chavit. and bong's fate has always hinged on the alignments of his boss.

show a little gratitude, please.

[mac_bolan00]

but chavit IS an ogags. or is he just one more guy you're scared to face? you've got reason though. that guy kills people.

wait... oh i see, i get the point. that dumb rich boy's a friend of yours. ok, i take it back.

you don't get it.

i advice you not to call chavit ogags not because he is not ogags, but because your kid brother's fate, and by extension yours too, is dependent on how expertly your kid brother licks or handles his boss' balls, and by extension, ogag's balls, too.

ikaw rin :lol:

[mac_bolan00]

why don't you go tell bong that? or if you're too scared to introduce yourself because of your lowly station, talk to the old man himself. :lol:

so, what's the score between you and sonny boy singson? is he your lover?

[flsfnoeraekadad]

may tanong lang po ako.

talaga bang totoo na ang initiation dun is papaluin ng kahoy na dos por dos ng malakas?

kasi maganda talaga ang frats sa UP eh.

naalala ko nung UPCAT ko, APO frat group was there to provide roadside assistance to motorists and parking cars.

ang medyo kinatatakuatan ko lang is yung initiation na pinapalo na katulad sa TV or *** gang wars which is an extremist case.

paano po ba ang recruitment and initiation process and sa frats sa UP?

ganun po ba talaga ang inititation dun?

yun lang po, salamat.

my dad's an upsilon member. wow. I never thought his org is that BIG in UP. i always enjoy listening to his stories bout his frat when he was a college kid. It's also one of the reasons why he doesnt allow us to join frat/sors :D

Wala na ba sa La Salle? A few years ago, the most prestigious was Tau Gamma Phi. They had the most affluent and good looking members. Alpha Phi Omega catered to middle class but did the only community service among the fraternities in La Salle. Domino Lux was exclusive to LaSallians and were the brainy bunch catering mostly to engineering students. Unfortunately, all three are hot before the eyes of the Discipline Office having been involved in violence to the extent of stabing and drive-by shootings...

[mac_bolan00]

so from your description of the three frats, what weapons did they use during drive-bys?

TGP - H&K USP or SIG226
APO - Colt 1911
Domino Lux - lasers???

On my time ,that was the year 1985 up to now TAU GAMMA PHI had been very active in DLSU even they are not recognized by the Admin .Most of its members are the son's of well known politicians and businessman in our country .We also engaged in frat wars between the other frats to gain supremacy in our school .But based on the survey conducted by SC we got the biggest number of students joining in our frat because of the influence and connections we get from our Senior brods.Even now through surveys and based on the students feedback they prefer to join TAU GAMMA PHI than in any other frat in La Salle.You can visit our tambayan @ south gate mcdo.
